Sergeant Harriet Williamson, of Filey and Eastfield Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “The hot weather can mean older people, or those with limited mobility, may be vulnerable. During Operation Cracker we will visit areas where there is a higher population of older people and making sure they are equipped with the right support to help them stay safe.

“We provide advice such as home security and how to keep your valuables safe when you’re out and about, as well as sign-posting to support from partner agencies and local groups that can provide support.”
